ValueError: x and y must have same first dimension, but have shapes, tkinter and matplotlib problem

I've been playing with GUI and matlib for few days now, but I can't find an issue in the code below.

from tkinter import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

root = Tk()
root.geometry('700x700')
entry1 = Entry(root, width = 20)
entry1.pack()

def button_command():
    x = np.array(np.linspace(10,1,10))
    y = np.array(entry1.get())
    fig = plt.figure()
    ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
    ax.spines['left'].set_position('center')
    ax.spines['bottom'].set_position('zero')
    ax.spines['right'].set_color('none')
    ax.spines['top'].set_color('none')
    ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom')
    ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('left')
    plt.plot(x,y, "r")
    plt.show()
    return None

Button(root, text="Draw function", command=button_command).pack()

root.mainloop()

I've been getting this error:

ValueError: x and y must have same first dimension, but have shapes (10,) and (1,)

I tried to delete np.array

x = np.linspace(10,1,10)
y = entry1.get()

but I don't know how can I combine y = entry1.get() with x = np.linspace(10,1,10)

The function I am trying to enter is 200-4*x

EDIT: Full error code:

y = entry1.get() is not enough to convert string to function expression, to say the least. As an option try to use SymPy library with its parse_expr and lambdify methods:

import tkinter as tk
from sympy import symbols, lambdify
from sympy.parsing.sympy_parser import parse_expr
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import (FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2Tk)
import numpy as np

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('700x700')
entry1 = tk.Entry(root, width=20)
entry1.pack()


def draw():
    expr = parse_expr(entry1.get())
    lam = lambdify(symbols('x'), expr)
    x = np.array(np.linspace(-10, 10, 100))
    y = lam(x)
    plot.plot(x, y)
    canvas.draw()


tk.Button(root, text="Draw function", command=draw).pack()

fig = Figure(figsize=(5, 4), dpi=100)
plot = fig.add_subplot()
plot.spines['left'].set_position('center')
plot.spines['bottom'].set_position('zero')
plot.spines['right'].set_color('none')
plot.spines['top'].set_color('none')
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(fig, master=root)

toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Tk(canvas, root, pack_toolbar=False)
toolbar.update()
toolbar.pack(side=tk.BOTTOM, fill=tk.X)
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=tk.TOP, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=1)

root.mainloop()
